NBC (Heroes) latest sci-fi show is going to be a reimagination of the 1970's series and apparantly has just been cast......

The Hollywood Reporter says that young British actress Michelle Ryan has landed the title role. Ryan will play a bright woman who is transformed into a technological wonder with $50 million worth of bionic components implanted in her body.

That's right, Michelle Ryan of bloody Eastenders has her own US pilot.

I've always had a bit of a thing for her, never really new her name, but seen pictures in the crap girly mags my other half reads. She's a fine looking woman, but I don't think those pictures do her justice. Regarding her casting in Bionic Woman, hmmm, I dunno. I reckon she could be okay, she certainly looks the part and looks like she could pull off what should be a pretty athletic role. Let's just hope her acting chops are up to it.... I've no idea, never really watch Eastenders.......Who am I kidding, I only came in here to look at her jubblies...

Hey eyes?! Are you crazy man take a look at her breasts [;)]

Well this is more than likely going to make the show terrible, but we could all be pleasently surprised... maybe. No? [:)]

Bizarre casting! Still, they wouldn't have hired her unless she had a great audition and proved to them she has what it takes...right?

Jim -> RE: The Bionic Woman (13/2/2007 6:01:30 PM)

Er... this could be interesting. I'll have to watch the first episode just to see how she does!

Filmic Joe -> RE: The Bionic Woman (13/2/2007 8:29:12 PM)

Little interest in this...Apparently she'll use her bionic powers to advance up the career ladder...how bloody exciting and or interesting.[sm=893Grumpy-thumb.gif]

Little Mo has been cast as Wonder Woman. Discuss.

22-year-old Ryan shot to fame in the top-rated BBC soap opera Eastenders, playing troubled teenager Zoe Slater, but hasn't made much of an impact in anything else of note, which makes the casting all the more unusual.

However, she's tall and exceptionally beautiful -- in the Jennifer Garner mode -- and if she can shake off the east London accent, she may be able to convince American viewers that she truly is composed of $50million-worth of discarded computer parts.

Her controversial role in Eastenders led to her taking a leave of absence due to exhaustion, but she bounced back to complete a highly-publicized storyline involving murder, and departed the show in 2005.

As The Guardian says: "rape, incest, attempted suicide, prostitution, a fake pregnancy and even attempted murder, makes being rebuilt with bionic ear, legs and right arm sound positively pedestrian."

The original series made a star of Lindsay Wagner when it spun-off from The Six Million Dollar Man, and spawned an entire generation of youngsters running around in lethargic slow-mo movements to the sounds of a dodgy guitar feedback.

HIM, they're much better! Though I notice you sneakily put in a dodgy one again (third from top) to try and confuse me.

On this thread, they are strictly referred to as 'love cushions'.

the anomaly -> RE: The Bionic Woman (15/5/2007 1:28:43 PM)

I have met her a few times. My family know her aunts and uncles and other relatives. I think it was new years 1999 and my drunkenly brother tried to chat her up? Then I think he fell on her...[:D] That was too funny.

jediwarrior -> RE: The Bionic Woman (15/5/2007 1:34:05 PM)
